To be renamed “Beyoncé Boulevard”?
I guess soon they will take my name off my birth certificate as I will not be fit enough to have been born in the Socialist States of the US.
The Miami Beach Commission has no humility.
I’m confused. I thought anti-Semitism was now REQUIRED of all card-carrying Democrats.
What sayeth this idiot councel about the Obamadork?
If his name had been “Godfree”, there would not be a problem.
Can a street named “Treyvan” be far away?
Arthur Godfrey was a mean SOB and one of the great pioneers of television. Does everybody have to be certified as a politically correct saint before we’re permitted to remember them? Let’s just name every road, school, bridge, hospital and fire hydrant in the country after Martin Luther King Jr. and get it over with.
Godfrey got too big for his britches from fame and fortune. He became an arrogant ass.
I can remember my parents remarking on what he did to Julius LaRosa, firing him on the air.
That was the beginning of the end of Godfrey’s career.
Just tell the Commissioners that in 50-60 years, they won’t be relevant either.
Why isn’t the left screaming to have the racist Robert Byrd’s name taken off all the buildings in W.Va?
Robert Byrd — The only white man in America who got away with using the “N-word” on TV.
Of course he probably thinks George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are no longer relevant either.
He was a TV host....who gives a shite!!!
I had to think for awhile about who that was and now I remember. A bit before my time but I’m just not in the habit of de-memorializing anything. Where I live, there are streets named after people and I have no idea who the hell they were no do I really care but I don’t lead petition drives to remove their names either.
I realize sometimes there are name changes. Somewhere nearby there is a creek that, at one time, was named “Nigger Creek”. You may ask why anyone would name a body of water like that or why it became popular but it was so named because, if you followed the creek, it led you to “Nigger Cemetery”.
Within the city of Minneapolis, there is Lake Calhoun. It’s one of the more popular lakes on Minneapolis’s Chain Of Lakes.
When Minnesota was still a territory, the Secretary of War John C Calhound sent a party to map out the areas surrounding Fort Snelling, a military outpost on the Upper Mississippi River.
The surveyors named this lake “Lake Calhoun”. Calhoun, as we all know, was an advoacte of nullification and states rights - especially involving the slavery issue.
In short, many liberal activists in Minneapolis have tried to push the Minneapolis Park Board into re-naming this lake. They feel that the lake should not be named after someone who was so supportive of slavery. Amazingly, the Park Board has not yet touched this issue.
This type of political correctness can be found in just about any state these days.
